Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I'm gonna kick things off... Here's my son!



He's 7 weeks and 3 days old today and he was 9lb 9oz when he was born, he was weighed yesterday and he's now 11lb 9oz! I thought he was getting heavy! The birth was a very difficult one and he and I both almost died twice during it, it was an emergency c-section but I think it was worse for my partner Sean and my mum than it was for me as I was unconcious! Anyway, in this photo Caleb is meeting Mister Snozzle (named by Sean!) for the first time, poor thing got thrown around by the ear all afternoon, only getting a break when Caleb fell asleep! Mister Snozzle is the first toy that Calebs shown an interest in so far, so he's Calebs favourite toy and he's always with him!

No it doesn't make any sounds, but its different textures with fabrics and rubber bits that invariably ends up in his mouth!

This is apicture of my friends and I on my boyfriends last birthday back in May



I'm the one in the middle, I was 5 months pregnant and it was the first time I'd ever been out and not gotten drunk! It was a great night and we all got refered to as the brady bunch all night long! Going left to right we have Emily, my friend Jacks girlfriend, (Jacks taking the photo) next to her is my ex Kieran with the long hair, we're still really good mates smile next to him is my fella Sean who has his arms round my belly lol then next to him is James who's dressed up as a character from Starwars for some reason... then we have my best friend Matt in the red shirt and my cousin Wallis next to him waving a mini lightsabre in the air lol on the way home we got stopped by a homeless man who demanded beer off of us but we had no beer so he then shouted racist abuse at us despite the fact that he was white as well... it was just a really good night smile

We often dress up randomly, starwars was tame lol THIS was my drummer on that night...!



Apparently he doesn't know what was going on there either...! He's been the drummer in my band for about 6 months now and we've only had 3 gigs with him, and before those gigs we only ever had ONE practice with him coz he works all the time, so the rest of the band are all rehearsing hard and then we get one practice to let him know what he's doing, and it always goes really really well lol its quite a phenomenon!

EDIT: Just noticed that the bartender giving him his change looks like a punch coming in from just off camera! Ah that made me giggle!

Well I really wanted to brag about my four little bros but I got their pics saved on my external which is not in my possession at the moment so I will talk about this...


These are my two bros I'm on the left the one right next to me is Paul and the last guy is Ted. they are awesome guys too. Paul was a 249 gunner along with me and ted was our forward observer (call in artillery for us if needed). But yeah these guys are two of my best friends we got pretty tight while deployed and stuff. I'd would do anything for these guy. the only one that is missing is my bro James but he got messed up and is still in DC getting all fixed up I miss him alot. but anyway just wanted you all to see two of the guys that I would go to rthe ends of the earth to help. but still I would drop my own life for any in my plattoon though the two are just a pair that I got really close with.

Death before Dishonor! US Cavalry

I'll share my little bros later when I get my external hd.

So the nightclub I frequent (not so often anymore since becoming a mother lol) held a fancy dress night, so naturally we all complied, we lurve dressing up! This is me and some of my friends:



The army girl, the mad scientist, the 80's chick and Dave. LOL

And yes, the front of my hair is dyed bright pink, I only did the front bit to see how it looks, I like it, I'm gonna do ALL of my hair pink next week lol

We had a great night, we danced so much I ached yesterday when I woke up, we did the time warp to every song that came on! Fun times smile

Clockwise from left hand side, we have FOG, Princess, Sugar, Tea, and Coffee. They're all hooded females, and they're all between one year and eighteen months old. Also all related, although Sugar's a bit of an add-on.

Tea and Coffee are sisters, cream hoods, the eldest, at 18 months. Tea can be a right cow when she wants (She bosses Sugar around something chronic) and she's definitely Boss Rat. But she's also adventurous, friendly, and a generally happy rat. Coffee is less social, and hasn't got much interest in exploring things. She keeps to herself a bit more. Tea is also the mother of Fog and Princess.

Fog and Princess are our other pair of sisters, gray hoods, the youngest, at just under a year old. They're Tea's daughters, the two (of three) that we kept after we bred Tea. We've raised them from birth.(We originally kept three, but Squiggle died when she was five weeks old, od unexplained cause) Fog's full name is Fall Out Girl, because when they were babies, one would always be squirming out of our hands, and off things, and generally being a nuisance. She's a lummox - a big rat with the super-laidback personality. You pick her up and she doesn't even bother to hold on, she's so cool with it. Princess is her sister, but she's a zippy little thing. She's just as friendly, but she's got less time to be friendly in, because - ooh, something new to be explored? she's THERE.

Sugar is the middle child, and she's my great big orange lump. She's the biggest of our girls, and she's about fifteen months old. She's my girl, originally bought from the people who later supplied a male to knock Tea up (Who was Sugar's uncle, making Tea Sugar's aunt, and the kids, her cousins) She gets bossed around a bit by Tea, so that makes her a little timid, but she's still a darling if you show her a little love.

This is my Ocicat, Lollyspot Hotspot, short names Lolly or Lol. She's about 18 years old, and she's been my cat since we got her in '94. So almost fifteen years now, which is...seriously scary, lol. I was five when we got her and she was three. I still remember the first night we had her - she climbed out the bathroom window and hid out on the garage roof for the entire night, and it took hours to get her down the next day. xp

She's a bit shy with new people, and she's awful at travelling (She meows thirty times a minute, for the entire duration of the trip) but she's so cuddly with me. At this very moment, she is on my lap purring. She also has no teeth any more. One thing she has thankfully learnt is not to wake me before the alarm goes off - she used to spend about half an hour waking me up (purring madly) by patting at my face with her paw...then patting a bit harder...then nuzzling...then she'd stand on my hair (pulling it and being out of reach) and pat at my nose...then she'd pat at my eyes...then she'd start nibbling my ears...you get the picture. She was adept at using just enough claw to hurt enough to wake me up but never enough claw to hurt enough to make a mark or draw blood. Also adept at fishing around under blankets with paws to find toes, if the face was successfully covered. Also adept at the False Retreat - 1, annoy human til human successfully coccoons self in blanket. 2, fish around in blanket for human's breathing-hole, until breathing-hole is closed to paws, and human is pretending with great concentration to be thoroughly asleep while slowly overheating. 3, jump off bed and 'give up'. 4, sit down about two metres from the bed and stare with great force of will at the human. 5, wait until the human overheats enough to move, even the slightest bit. 6, jump back up on to the bed. 7, repeat from step 1. If forcibly removed from the room, demand readmittance with claws under the door and loud meows.
Seriously cute, but also damn annoying if you happened to need the sleep.
